Vintage Hair

(Part 3)

1970’s

Like the preceding sixties, the seventies was a diverse decade for hairstyles. New hair styles were being created through experimentation and hair styles were often a direct expression of the clients’ view of society at that time. Women’s 1970’s hairstyles varied from long, soft and feminine to short and androgynous.

Nostalgia was big in the 70’s, leading to a look back to various periods, especially the 1920’s through to 1950’s. This “looking back” past eras was seen in fashion, TV shows, films, and music. Long hair had been in vogue since the late 1960’s and its popularity continued through the 1970’s.

An early 70’s style, known as the “Shag“, or sometimes the “Ape“, consisted of shorter hair on top combined with longer hair at the back, and lots of layering throughout the hair. It was a unisex, no frills cut that involved evenly-progressing layers with graduated sides and a full fringe. The hair could be straight or curly, but always had a shaggy look to it. It was a popular 70’s hairstyle for both sexes.

The “Wedge” was a cut that consisted of short hair with steep-angled layers cut all around the sides and back. This created an almost triangular style that was longer on top, going into a heavily-layered aspect at the back and sides with lots of movement.

A new style, called “Flicks“, was seen on both short and long hairstyles. They emerged in the early 70’s and became all the rage when Farrah Fawcett was seen in Charlie’s Angels on TV’s all across America. For a splendid flick, a whole new breed of heated styling tools were created for home use.

1980’s

Do you love the flashy, punk look that dominated the 1980’s? Are you going to an “80s” themed dance and need to look the part? Getting that rad “80s” style is easier than you might think; A few hair accessories and some bright eye makeup might be all it takes!

The “80’s” was a decade known for its style. Fashion was playful, big, and fun. The hair styles were no different. Whether you want to make a total change or just go out for a costume party or an event, it’s easy to capture the spirit of the ‘80’s” by experimenting with your hair.

• The Side Ponytail
One of the simplest “80’s” hairstyles that virtually anyone with medium to long hair can pull off is the side ponytail. The higher the ponytail and the bigger the scrunchie, the better this do will look. If you have bangs, try teasing them to their fullest for an added punch of “80’s” playfulness.

• The Big Perm
A more permanent “80’s” look is the big perm. Think Madonna/Julia Roberts, full curls. Keep those curls moisturized. If you’re not ready to commit to a perm, you can get temporary curls by using small rollers overnight or using a curling iron. When you want to look classy, simply put on your best dress and pin the curls into a French twist.

For a fun, wild look, let that hair flow and wear tight dresses, mini-skirts, thigh high boots or anything else that makes you feel sexy.

• Big Bangs
Another big tip to remember when going for that “80’s” look is that it’s all about the bangs. The bigger and crazier your bangs are, the better. I suggest teasing your bangs to the max, either straight up or into a feathered style, and then spraying with as much maximum hold hair spray as you can stand. This hairstyle looks best with a simple, t-shirt, jeans or slacks, and basic jewelry and make-up.

• Crimping
Crimping is another popular style that can give you that 80s vibe, and it’s incredibly easy to get the look. If you have the time, you can get crimps just by braiding all of your hair into tiny braids and sleeping on them overnight. When you take the braids out in the morning, you’ll have an instant head full of crimps and you can simply spray and go. You can also get the look with any curling iron or flat iron.

So, yes, it’s incredibly easy and fun to get the “80’s” look that you want. Don’t be afraid to experiment and to try out even the craziest of styles. You can use articles such as this for inspiration or even watch “80’s” movies or music videos for further ideas.
